I was able to kite 4 days out of 4 in Thailand in August at a spot called Laem Son in Rayong province.Its a quiet part of Thailand and not many westerners travel here. Which kind of makes it special... you could say this is the real Thailand.. not like Phuket and Koh SamuiAnd this place seems to get alot of wind May to October from what ive heard.Mostly 13-18 knots but good enough to have fun.I filmed a short movie of it if you want to see what its like.

Thats great that you got some wind in Samui as I always thought that place was a graveyard for kiters. And i wish that ppl who have got wind in Thailand would let us know. I know its a bit of a lottery if u get wind here so its nice when it does blow, we know.So many trips before and not 1 day on the water.

And its more of a holiday if I can get away from a westernised environment. Plus i get a chance to practice a little Thai... hmm well I have to as no one speaks English here

Had an unusual episode where a Belgian guy, after a second of neglect got his kite firmly wedged in a tree. Unable to free it without ripping it to shreds. He gave it up. He was totally pissed.Within 5 minutes a young Thai guy comes along and says he will climb the tree and bring it down. We thought he was joking and would stop after 3 or 4 metres and come down. He went up and up... about 25 metres up. 1 slip and it would be all over. He deflated, unhooked the lines, wrapped it up and brought the bloody thing down.
